Windows makes multiple partitions on your system. This will vary if your run your system in legacy BIOS mode or UEFI mode.
The essentially, the 2 important ones are (to make it short, I won't dive in the others... I already explained it here several times):
Boot Windows (C:\) The partition where Windows will install will be the one your selected
The partition where the boot partition will be, is the the first drive reported by your motherboard. If you have multiple drive, it is critical to plug your main drive to your SATA-1 (or SATA-0, depending where your motherboard manufacture start its numbering) connector. Now, the issue comes with NVMe drive mixed with SATA... some motherboard considers M.2 NVMe last, others first. There is no fix for this. The BIOS needs to be reworked to make the switch.
Your only solution is to unplug your secondary drive before starting Windows installation.
Please note that this issue has to do with compatibility with dumb BIOSs who only look for boot partition on the first connected drive. Please think outside of DIY systems. Think ultra budget system from OEMs, where every corner are cut to save each penny.

Won't work. THE BCD Store that Windows is booting from contains the UUID of the drive it is booting from, if you move the store the UUID is no longer correct and you get a BCD Error BSOD at boot.
If you move the store you have to delete it and recreate a new one with the correct UUID. Its a complicated thing to do and in my experience its normally faster & easier to just unplug all the extra drives then reinstall.
These days you can reinstall in 15 minutes.

Not true.
Windows has had this issue going back as far as Windows XP (possibly earlier). When you have multiple drives plugged in to your computer and install Windows it will scan them all for a BCD record, if it finds one then it it throws the bootloader onto that drive no matter where you're actually installing to. Its nothing you have selected that caused this, its just something Windows has done for a very long time.
Its the sole reason why the majority of people giving help about installing Windows on a lot of forums still suggest you unplug all other drives except the one you're installing to before you install. Its the only way you can guarantee Windows won't install the bootloader and Windows on different drives.

Dreamer758 reacted to schwellmo92 in Power went out but pc didn’t shut off
The power supply holds some power, if it was a small blip your power supply would've probably had enough stored electricity to keep it running. Or your PC did actually turn off and when the power came back on it booted up and launched everything that was previously open.

Power supplies can hold power for a very short time (milliseconds), It is an indication that you have a quality one, what is it?
Also it's possible that the voltage just dropped down, instead of a complete power outage, and other components couldn't handle it but your PC could?

Dreamer758 reacted to Caennanu in My cpu light is steady red when I turn on my pc.
Are you talking about the debug led?
In that case, take out the cpu and check for bent pins. If you dare and find any, push them back straight (or return to store for warranty)

Dreamer758 got a reaction from Karhana in Going for RTX 2070 or.. Should I wait for ryzen?
I think it depends if you want ray tracing Becasue the difference is VERY noticible when you turn RTX off after you have had it on but I feel like if i have never played the game with RTX on i would have never cared about it. 2070 performance is between a 1080 and a 1080ti so if you just get a GOOD 1080 and overclock it its a cheaper 2070 with no RT
